Premium Member Let The Lilies And The Roses Flourish
For crying out loud, the flowers are gorgeous, Fresh, happy, young, alive, and vivacious. Regrettably, we, humans, cut their lives short, From time to time, from events to events. For God’s sake, let the flowers live like the monuments, Let them enjoy a long life, like the statues in the court. Almost every event, like birthdays, weddings and anniversaries, Is the end...

Anniversaries and Such
Circled days hide their faces on the far side of the fridge. Dates and reminders clog the cyclic notches on my prayer wheel. Calendar dreams wake up far too late. Ducks fly across a fridge magnet. I hear the distant quacking of a missed anniversary disappearing over a dimming horizon....

Anniversaries and Such
It is time for the circled days to hide their faces on the far side of the fridge. Dates and red letter reminders clog the cyclic notches on my prayer wheel. The calendar dreams always waking up too late I recall how fish in a bowl forget every seven seconds. It helps, but date sharks still hunt me down when I mess up....

Premium Member Green Anniversaries
This is not a time for us Facing these weeks of hospital walls My knight now jousts an invisible foe Shorn of hair, yet still he wears Tubes of pain as proud as armor With blood too pale, future too frail No anniversary in candlelight This year is measured in pills and applesauce Doctor visits replacing road trips To the salty sea beach, where...

Anniversaries
Red letter days give birth to each other like pregnant goldfish. Once again the red circled hides its face on the far side of the fridge. Dates clog the cyclic notches on my prayer wheel of anniversaries. I hear an untimely cuckoo in every paper window. I need buttoned down numbers that don't skid off the expressway of things to remember every time I see a squirrel....

Words can't put it into comprehension because in order to stay sixty years there has to be a...

Wedding Anniversaries
Celebrating fifty years since her wedding day; knowing someday Mistress Death will steal her love away. Crying, trying to forget making vows in church; loving hubby was untrue and left her in the lurch. For Charlotte’s Love and Loss contest...
